Panthers and the Salary Cap

I haven't took time to study every team in the league but in my opinion its really bad when compared to the majority of the teams in the league.  

 

Here is an interesting article that talks about some of our contracts:

 

http://overthecap.com/best-worst-contracts-2014-carolina-panthers/

 

Its not just the size of the various contracts on the roster, its the structure of them.  Alot of our bigger contracts have been restructured and/or had voidable years added to them. Some of this was actually done by DG, but once you get so far behind on the cap you have to do this just to have enough cap space to field a team.

 

Look at Kalil's contract:

 

http://overthecap.com/player/ryan-kalil/1190

 

He has been restructured several times and has voidable years.  In theory he could void his contract in 2017 and we would still have a cap hit of $3.3m.

 

For those who don't really understand voidable years:

This is the reason I oculd never understand ANYONE defending Hurney, and why Gettleman gets a pass on any contract/penny pinching roster move he makes until 2016. In my book at least. 

 

Christ, reading that just made me angry.

when you really drill down and break down the cap/salary situation the arguments against gettleman just boil down to some nit picking about what he did with like two draft picks, a bunch of piss and vinegar about smitty (nobody is willing to argue that he'd be worth a 20+ million cap hit over the next two years when confronted with it i'm finding) and "well he should have done something" when it comes to our OT situation

 

it's rhetoric and pulpit-thumping vs facts, numbers, and reality basically

 

e: also if you hate what's going on now it's only natural to be biased toward the predecessor no matter how bad they were at their job

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
